Technology Users

What is accessible technology and why is it important in the workplace? Accessible technology means that it works for everyone. It doesn't matter whether you are an older worker, a younger worker, or a worker with a disability. It means that you are able to fully contribute your talents, your knowledge, and your expertise on the job.

“It is time to teach people with disabilities that we, like everyone else, can and must work, just like everyone else.”

On this site, you can learn what employers and technology providers are doing to develop, adopt, and promote accessible workplace technology, and how you can support these efforts. You can look up answers to common questions, search by categories, check out trends and best practices, or see the latest new information.
